Good theater should always send people away feeling changed.

I'm thought of as a cool, unemotional dancer, but inside I'm not.

I loved tests because it was another form of competing, a healthy competition.

You're never more of an individual than when you're a happy team player.

I loved the stage not because it provided an escape from myself or my humdrum life but because when the curtain went up I could be whoever I wanted to be, and that was true freedom - to be myself.

Once I started dancing, I was not the spoiled brat or the rebellious child that I was as a child.

The arts are the hospitals for our souls.

I set as my goal to be the best dancer I could be. Not the most famous, or the highest paid dancer, just the best I could be. Out of this discipline came great freedom and calm.

On the other hand, I think it is wonderful for everyone to take ballet classes, at any age. It gives you a discipline, it gives you a place to go. It gives you some control in your life.

When you get on stage, you can be anything. You are removed from reality in a way, the real world.

Be a friend to thyself, and others will be so too.

Look at yourself, you’re old, too, but still doing your work. This is what we are, Philips. This is what we are.

My training makes me uneasy with a happy mystery.

The NRA was one of the items that we pointed to when we added money to the labor, health and Education appropriations bill by reducing the size of the tax cut.

I have been able to play a lot of guys and they have kept me working.

Through EdgeRank, Facebook weighs likes, comments, and shares, but it currently does not give greater weight to click-throughs or any other action that leads to sales.

I definitely like performing to a crowd that's there to see a female hero.

One principle must make the universe a single complex living creature, one from all.

Remember what Anatole France said about the dog masturbating on your leg--'Sure, it's honest, but who needs it?

There's a real separation between actors and all the other functions of Hollywood. If you're an actor you're somehow not a member of the crew. You're somehow more special. I hate that.
